Actor, Ralph Fiennes on Success
"Success? It is all about being able to extend love to people. Not in a big, capital-letter sense, but in the everyday. Little by little, gesture by gesture, word by word." (Ralph Fiennes)
I love this notion.

From Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde is one of my favourite playwrights. His writing is insightful, pithy, witty and charming, and usually involves satire about the human condition and social mores of the time which tend to transcend time. According to him: "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go."
I like it!

Sir Winston Churchill
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." (Sir Winston Churchill)
Amusing truth.

Einstein
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." (Albert Einstein)

Romans, Verse 5
"...suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us..."
Hope is essential in life. There is much hope behind another expression: "this too shall pass" from an old proverb. I use this expression frequently. For me, it inspires hope that as time moves forward, whatever difficulties I am currently facing shall pass (even though how I choose to use the expression does not utilize the full interpretation of the proverb.)
